LOGAN, Utah (AP) — Police say they were able to quickly connect a man to the disappearance and death of a 5-year-old Utah girl using a new type of DNA test that can produce results in less than two hours.

KSL-TV reports Logan police used a Rapid DNA test to link 21-year-old Alex Whipple to the Saturday disappearance of his niece, Elizabeth “Lizzy” Shelley.

Police had announced Tuesday that they had “strong evidence” against Whipple.

The child’s body was found Wednesday after Whipple gave his lawyer a map of where she was hidden. Whipple is charged with murder and other counts.

The process of matching DNA has typically taken weeks, but the new machines reduce that time.

The state attorney general’s office has two of the machines.
